Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749) was the first widely-read English novel in the genre "Erotica." It was written by John Cleland as he was serving hard time at a debtor's prison in London. Over the centuries, the novel has been repeatedly banned by authorities, assuring its preeminent role in the history of the ongoing struggle against censorship of free expression.
Until Fanny Hill, previous heroines had conducted their amorous liaisons "off-stage." Any erotic misadventures were described euphemistically. As women who had gone astray, they always repented, which made even their most outrageous dalliances somehow suitable for a moralistic readership. The protagonist of Fanny Hill, however, never repented a single moment of her sexual exploits ... quite the contrary! And with Fanny, the devil is in the details, realistically described.

The narrator should have a Lancashire accent, it's just a gabble. I can't listen to it.

As a transgender female who has just transitioned - I appreciate both sides of the amorous story. Having only just lost my c'ck and now have a cl't - I feel empowered by this Italian translation! Superb!

I was looking forward to listening to this. But, like pretty much all librevox recordings… This is unlistenable. Dreadful narration and reading cadence. Terrible microphone technique - far too close, hence the popping sibilance. And the grasp of English is just too heavily accented and clumsy. It simply gets in the way of the story. 10 minutes is too much to bear. Many hours would be torture. Sorry to be so critical. Thanks for the upload. 🙏 Peace to all.
